Sybase 12 Installation and Upgrade Instructions Section 1 – Preparation for Windows Server Install

Preparation for Windows Server Install
If you are a current Needles user and will be upgrading from a previous version of Sybase, the
following steps MUST be taken before beginning the Sybase 12 installation.
If you are NOT upgrading from a previous version of Sybase and this is a new install, skip to
Section 2.
1. Determine if any users are setup to use replication by logging into Needles and clicking on
DIRECTORY - STAFF. Any staff name with an ‘R’ in the gray area to the left of their staff code is
set up to use replication. Make note of those staff codes. Those users will need to sync a copy of their
database back to the main database before you begin the following steps. Once their databases have
been synced, exit the DBRemote process on the server. A new database will need to be re-extracted
for each replicating user after you have completed the upgrade to Sybase 12 on the server and
workstations.
2. If any users were set up to use replication, then make a note on Page 5 to include the component:
SQL Remote or SQL Remote (64-bit) (located under the Synchronization and Messaging section)
when installing SQL Anywhere 12 to the server.
Also, make a note on Page 23 to include either of those same components when installing SQL
Anywhere 12 to the workstation that the replicating user(s) was using for replication (which is usually
a laptop).
3. Make a backup of the Needles database (Needles.db and Needles.log files). Use the Needles Backup
Coordinator to do this. This backup program will back up the open files Needles.db and Needles.log
and will also truncate the log file to a smaller size.
4. Verify the backup – the Needles.db should be the same size as the active file on the server and the
Needles.log should have the current date.
5. Log all the users out of Needles and stop the Sybase engine (Needles service) on the server from
within Sybase Central* by right-clicking on the Needles service and clicking on STOP.
* If Sybase 5 is installed on the server then the Sybase Engine can be stopped through the file
dbsvmn50.exe located in \SQLANY50\WIN32. Execute the file and click on STOP.
6. Delete the Needles service from within Sybase Central* located under Start - All Programs - SQL
Anywhere (or Sybase SQL Anywhere).
* If Sybase 5 is installed, this will get removed through the dbsvmn50.exe file.
7. If this computer also serves as a Needles Client, then delete the Needles data source from the ODBC
Administrator under the User DSN and/or System DSN tabs (see Section 5).
8. Uninstall Sybase 5.x, Adaptive Server Anywhere 6.x, Sybase SQL Anywhere 7, Sybase SQL
Anywhere 8, Sybase SQL Anywhere 9, SQL Anywhere 10 or SQL Anywhere 11 off the server
through Control Panel and Add/Remove Programs (or Programs and Features).
9. Reboot the server to ensure the older version of Sybase has been completely uninstalled and that there
are no Needles or Sybase components that will try to restart automatically.

do either of these things) and click Finish to proceed to complete the install.
14. * Click Exit to exit the SQL Anywhere 12 install menu.
* If prompted, Select the option “Yes, I want to restart my computer now.” and click Finish to
complete the setup.

Apply the Latest Patches to Sybase 12
15. Download the latest Sybase 12 patch file(s) from www.Needles.com* and apply them to the server.
* You will need to log into the Client section using the firm's username and password.
The Sybase patches are located under: Support – Needles Downloads – Sybase Patches Page.
16. After the Sybase 12 patch file(s) are applied to the server (if any were available), proceed to the
appropriate section:
- If you are a current Needles user and are upgrading from a previous Sybase version, proceed to
Section 3 for instructions on upgrading the Needles database to a Sybase 12 version.
- If you are NOT upgrading from a previous version of Sybase and this is a new install, skip to
Section 4 for instructions in configuring the Needles service.

Sybase 12 Installation and Upgrade Instructions Section 3 – Upgrade Database to Sybase 12

Upgrade Database to Sybase 12 (Rebuild Database)
If you are a current Needles user and are upgrading from a previous version of Sybase, this
database upgrade MUST be performed.
Section 4 for instructions on configuring and starting the Sybase engine.
Unload the database
1. Verify there is a current, valid Needles backup of the Needles.db and Needles.log files before
upgrading the database. It is recommended to copy these files onto CD, DVD or external hard drive
to ensure you will have an available backup to restore from should the upgrade (rebuild) process fail.
2. Verify the Needles service (within Sybase Central on the server) is not running. (Users who are
upgrading from an older version of Sybase should have deleted the previous Needles service according
to the instructions in Section 1.)
3. Verify that there is enough free space on the server for the rebuilt database. You must make sure that
there is enough free space to accommodate another copy of the Needles database (look at the size of
the current Needles.db file) as well as the unloaded data files that will be created by the unload
process. To be safe, you should make sure there is free space equal to at least 2.5 times the size of the
current Needles.db file.
4. On the server on which Sybase 12 has been installed, open Sybase Central by double-clicking the
Sybase Central icon on the desktop or by choosing: Start – All Programs – SQL Anywhere 12 –
Administration Tools - Sybase Central.
5. Once Sybase Central is open, click on Tools – SQL Anywhere 12 – Unload Database.

6. Click Next past the Welcome screen.
7. In the following screen, fill in the following fields:

Select: Unload a database running on an earlier version of the server, or a database that…
User ID: dba
Password: sql
Database file: browse to the path* of the current Needles database (Needles.db) on your server.
*The path to your database file may be different than the path seen in the following screenshot.
Click Next to continue.
8. Select the first option: Unload into a reload file and click Next to continue.

9. Enter the path and file name to which you want to save the reload file. (We recommend saving this
file in the folder where the current database file resides). Then click Next to continue.
10. Verify that the options: Unload structure and data and Order data by primary key are both
selected and click Next to continue.

11. Verify 'Save the data files on the Server Computer using UNLOAD statements' is selected
Save the data files in the following folder: C:\Needles\Unload (or any folder you specify)
Verify 'Use LOAD statements to reload the data from the server computer' is selected
Click Finish to begin the unload.
12. After the Unload completes, the status will say: Completed. Click Close to close the window.

Prepare the Reload.sql file
The database that you will be rebuilding into is in a windows-1252 character set. However, your database
may have existed within a different character set under the previous Sybase version. If your database
existed under a different character set, then it is necessary to modify the Reload.sql file prior to performing
the reload process. Failure to do this will prevent characters from being translated correctly within tables
such as case notes.
13. Open the file "Reload.sql" within Notepad. (This file can be found within the folder you specified
in step 9.)
Example:
14. Within Notepad, click on EDIT – FIND and in the "Find what" field, type in: ENCODING
and click the "Find Next" button.
15. If the first "Encoding" line that is found references 'windows-1252' (see example in Figure 1) or
'cp1252' (see example in Figure 2), then the Reload.sql is configured for the correct character set and
no further action is required, skip to step #18. If the first "Encoding" line that is found references
anything other than 'windows-1252' or 'cp1252' (see examples in Figure 3 and Figure 4), then proceed
to step #16.
Figure 1 (example of a good character set) Figure 2 (example of a good character set)

Figure 3 (example of a bad character set) Figure 4 (example of a bad character set)
16. In order to set the Reload.sql file for the correct character set, you will need to replace all of the
Encoding lines within Notepad. To do this, click on EDIT – REPLACE and within the "Find what"
field, enter the invalid encoding line EXACTLY as it appeared in your search results including the
word "ENCODING" before it.
In the "Replace with" field, type in the following: ENCODING 'windows-1252'
and click on Replace All (see example in Figure 5).
Figure 5
17. After the replace is complete, close the "Replace" window and click on File – Save.
18. Close the Reload.sql file and proceed to the next section – Prepare the Blank Database.
Prepare the blank database
19. Download the file: BlankSybase12NeedlesDB.zip from www.Needles.com* into C:\Needles\New

(or any empty folder you specify).
The BlankSybase12NeedlesDB.zip file is located under: Support – Needles Downloads – Sybase
Patches Page.
20. Unzip the file within that folder.

Reload data
21. Connect to the blank Needles database with ISQL by:

* NOTE: The path you enter for the Database file field below should reflect the location you saved the blank database to.
Start – All Programs – SQL Anywhere 12 – Administration Tools - Interactive SQL:

Authentication: Database
User ID: dba
Password: sql
Action: Start and connect to a database on this computer
Database file: C:\Needles\New\Needles.db
Database name: needles
Server name: needles
Start line: C:\Program Files\SQL Anywhere 12\bin32\dbeng12.exe
Click Connect
22. Within Interactive SQL, in the SQL Statements window at the top, type in the following Read line*:
* NOTE: The path you enter may be different depending on where you saved the Reload.sql file to
during Step #9. If there are spaces in your path, make sure to put the entire path within
quotes.
Read C:\Needles\Reload.sql
Then click the PLAY (Execute all SQL Statements) button in the toolbar.
This process may take several minutes to an hour or more to complete. When finished, the PLAY button in
the toolbar will be available again and the bottom line in the Results window should display an Execution
time.
Example
23. Close Interactive SQL. If prompted to save “unsaved SQL statements”, click No.
24. Within Windows Explorer, copy the new database files (Needles.db and Needles.log) into the folder
where the current database files exist, overwriting them.
example: copy Needles.db and Needles.log from C:\Needles\New into C:\Needles.
25. The \Unload folder containing the unloaded .dat files is no longer needed and can be deleted to free
up disk space.
26. Once you have finished the above steps, proceed to Section 4 for instructions on configuring and
starting the Sybase engine.

Sybase 12 Installation and Upgrade Instructions Section 4 – Needles Service Config. on Windows

Needles Service Configuration on Windows Server
Section Notes:
This section will guide the user through creating a Needles service on the server, which may be running any
of the following operating systems:
- Windows 2003 Server or Windows 2008 Server
- Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 (as a Peer to Peer server)
The display settings on the server must be set to at least 256 colors.
NOTE: Before creating the Needles service, make sure a Needles database (Needles.db and
Needles.log) exists on the server. If this is the first time Sybase and Needles are being
installed, the Needles database should be installed from the Needles CD-ROM.
Please see the Needles Installation Instructions for help with this.
1. On the computer running as the server, open Sybase Central by double-clicking the Sybase Central

7. Enter the parameters as seen in the following screen shot and click Next to continue.
* See the explanation of parameters in Appendix A.

* All parameters must be lowercase except for the last character of the last line.
* The third parameter is –tl0 with a lowercase “L”.
8. Verify the default of “Local system account” is selected and that “Allow service to interact with
desktop is checked”* and click Next to continue.
* If installing on Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 2008, the option "interact with desktop" is not available.

9. Verify the startup type is set as “Automatic” and click Next to continue.
10. Check the “Start the service now” option and click Finish to create the new service.
11. The Needles service will start and will place a Lightning Bolt* icon in the systray.
If you double click on the icon you will see the following screen. The last line that states “Now
accepting requests” shows that the service is up and running and awaiting client connections.
Minimize this screen back to the systray.
* The Lightning Bolt icon is not available if installed to Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 2008.

12. The following screen shows Sybase Central with the Needles service running.
As long as the status says “Running” you may close Sybase Central.
NOTE: Should the Needles service need to be stopped or started manually in the future, this can be done
in Sybase Central as shown in the above screen. To stop the service, right-click on the Needles
service and select Stop. To start the engine if the status reads Stopped, right-click on the
needles service and select Start.
NOTE: If you are running a firewall on the server such as the Windows Firewall, you must add the path
to dbsrv12.exe as an exception to the firewall to allow the Sybase clients to communicate with
the Sybase server.
example: C:\Program Files\SQL Anywhere 12\Bin32\dbsrv12.exe (for 32-bit)
example: C:\Program Files\SQL Anywhere 12\Bin64\dbsrv12.exe (for 64-bit)
NOTE: If a firewall you are using does not allow for exceptions, then you can open port 2638
on that firewall instead. This is the port that Sybase communicates through.
NOTE: For performance and stability reasons, you should exclude the Needles.db and Needles.log files
from any AntiVirus, Anti-Spyware, search-indexing and any other scanning utilities or
programs that may be running on the server.
13. After the Needles service has started, if you are a current Needles user and this is an upgrade from a
previous Sybase version, proceed to Section 5 for instructions on preparing the workstations for the
Sybase client install. If you are NOT upgrading from a previous version of Sybase and this is a new
install, skip to Section 6 for instructions on installing the Sybase Client.

Sybase 12 Installation and Upgrade Instructions Section 7 - Client ODBC Configuration

Client ODBC Configuration for Needles
Section Notes:
* If this is a new installation and you are not upgrading from a previous Sybase version, then before
continuing, follow the Needles installation instructions to install the Needles software. The
Needles program installation will create a Needles data source in the ODBC Administrator
automatically. If you have trouble logging into Needles once it's installed, then refer back to this
section to check the ODBC settings
This section will guide the user through creating and/or modifying a Needles data source in the ODBC
Administrator.
A Needles data source must be configured correctly on each computer that will be connecting to Needles.
1. Click on Start - All Programs - SQL Anywhere 12 - Administration Tools - ODBC Administrator
(32 bit).*
* If you are performing the following steps on a 64-bit server, then a Needles data source will also need to be configured in the
64-bit ODBC Administrator located in Start - All Programs - SQL Anywhere 12 - Administration Tools - ODBC
Administrator (64 bit):
2. The Needles data source can be added to either the User DSN tab or the System DSN tab. Needles
looks to the User DSN tab first for a Needles data source and if it doesn't find one there, then it looks
to the System DSN tab. (Adding the data source to the System DSN tab configures the connection to
the Needles database regardless of what account is used to log into the Firm’s network, whereas the
User DSN tab only configures for the current user that is logged into that computer).
* It is recommended to add the data source to the System DSN tab.
3. To add a Needles data source: choose the System DSN tab, click Add, select SQL Anywhere 12 from
the list and click Finish.
* To configure an existing Needles data source, either double click the data source with the Name
Needles or highlight that data source and click Configure.

4. Type “Needles” into the Data source name field and then click on the Login tab.
5. Type “dba” into the User ID field and “sql” into the Password field.
Select the option: Connect to a running database on another computer
Type “needles” into the Server name and Database name fields and then click back on the ODBC tab.
** Figure 2 shows an example of a parameter used to connect to a server running the Needles
database using that server’s IP address in the Host field. This parameter is not always necessary
and usually the Host field can remain blank. This parameter is usually only needed for connecting
a computer to Needles over a VPN or when the computer is on a different subnet from the server.
Fig. 1 Fig. 2 (note – the IP Address of your server may be different)

6. Click back on the ODBC tab and click on the Test Connection button at the bottom of the window.
7. If the connection is successful, the following window will be displayed:
Click OK on the Connection successful message and then click OK on the ODBC Configuration
window to close and save your changes. You may now sign into Needles. However, if you receive an
error message, double check your parameters and then try the Test Connection again. If you continue
to get error messages, call Needles, Inc. for Technical Support.
If this is a new installation and if you haven't already done so, you may now refer to the Needles
Installation Instructions found on the Needles CD-ROM for help with installing the Needles program
to each workstation.

Sybase 12 Installation and Upgrade Instructions Appendix A – Service Parameters

Service Parameters
Section Notes:
This section provides an explanation of the parameters used when starting the Sybase engine to load the
Needles database.
This section applies to the Server computer that loads the Needles database whether it is running
Windows XP/Vista/2003/Windows 7 or Windows 2008.
1st parameter = ex. C:\Needles\Needles.db

This is the path to the Needles.db file on the server. This path must be a local or
mapped drive and cannot be a UNC path.
NOTE: If this path contains a space, then you will have to put quotes around the
entire path.
2nd parameter = -n needles

This is the database name being created – must be named “needles”.
3rd parameter = -tl0

This is the timeout liveliness setting for the service.
The second character is a lowercase “L”.
The “0” turns this setting off so there are no timeout issues.
4th parameter = -ti600

This is the timeout inactivity for client connections which is set to a
default of 600 minutes.
5th parameter = -c50M

This is the starting cache setting for the Needles service.
The default setting of “-c50M” will start the service with 50 Megs of RAM and will
reallocate the cache size automatically as needed.
The recommended setting for the amount of RAM used for Sybase is equal to or
greater than 20% the size of the Needles.db file. This setting can be made higher
which may increase performance but should not be made too high as to not reduce
the amount of RAM available to the Operating System and other programs running
on the server.
